Curious.....is there a Bermuda Triangle?

[samlad]

I have a theory on the Bermuda Triangle, sadly enough... I believe that it's an area that has a high electomagnetic field. This would be plausible as this would cut out any communication signals and stall engines, etc. which would cause people to be lost at sea.

Then again I'm probably taking bollocks!

Larry Kusche

Lawrence David Kusche, a research librarian from Arizona State University and author of The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved (1975)[14] argued that many claims of Gaddis and subsequent writers were often exaggerated, dubious or unverifiable. Kusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants, and others involved in the initial incidents. Kusche noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst, which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence to the contrary. Another example was the ore-carrier recounted by Berlitz as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents that sparked allegations of the Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it. Often his research was simple: he would review period newspapers of the dates of reported incidents and find reports on possibly relevant events like unusual weather, that were never mentioned in the disappearance stories.

Kusche concluded that:

The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean.

In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious; furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms.

The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat's disappearance, for example, would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port may not have been.

Some disappearances had, in fact, never happened. One plane crash was said to have taken place in 1937 off Daytona Beach, Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses; a check of the local papers revealed nothing.

The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery, perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism.[14]

Mmm. The Bermuda Triangle. I'm a cynical old ass normally so I'll just say it's a load of old cobblers.

My proof ? I don't have any. I'm just throwing out that wild generalised comment there and expecting everyone to believe it.

Actually I don't care if anyone believes me or not. I know the truth and that's all that matters. I don't feel any need what so ever to gain the confidence and trust of anybody. I don't need to feel anyone believes me. I don't need to be identified by anyone as being a font of all knowledge. I'm on a higher plane and don't need any pier recognition to boost my self esteem. I don't need even to write this post.

I'm going to stop typing now, in a minute. Oh shit look - I'm wearing slippers and it's only Tuesday. How did that happen ? Where am I anyway ? Am I really here at all ?

I'm off to work on those questions for a while. Good luck on your Bermuda Triangle square thing ..... don't ask me anything because I can't handle any more questions at the moment.

Did something happen on the 09/12/09?

I was looking through the agency ads and the last one, excluding Bunnies of Ireland, was for the above date. Nothing after. Did the police close them down? Or did they disappear?

Noo noo noo noo...

There are still agencies advertising as agencies: https://www.escort-ireland.com/p1/8/...y-escorts.html

Maybe they found that they weren't getting much business from those ads. Or maybe they are just too lazy to post.

I've flown over the Bermuda Triangle a few times, not once did anything untoward happen!
